The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection, together with public environmentalists, will hold an environmental campaign "Rest without harm to nature" from July 8 to August 8, Minsk-News reports. Recently we wrote that June of this year has become abnormally hot for Belarus

During the months, state environmental inspectors will actively monitor the behavior of visitors to recreation areas and nature reserves, as well as fishermen. Inspectors will explain how not to harm nature during the rest.

• During the rest, park the car in special places and no closer than 30 meters from the coastline. It is also forbidden to wash cars near reservoirs.
